A NAMELESS CASE.

My case has been very curious one for
about thirteen years. At intervals of about
one week would be attacked with spells OF
severe and most excruciating pain, always
commencing in the region OF my kidneys.
The pain would then go upwards anu affect
my body and head, and seemed to penetrate
my very eyc-ball., creating the most intense
suffering. lasting about eight hours each
spell.
I restored to all kinds Of medicine with
out benefit. Several doctors treated my
case, but none relief finally used B. i. b.
as an experiment, and to my utter astoniDh-
ment all pain and suffering vanished after
using three doses. To the present time 1
have nsed three bottles, aud not pain has
ever returned. ! do not know what was
the matter, neither could my p hysician name

COMMENTING ont HERALD para
graph cendemning an evasion OF the
pistol law in Houston by allowing a
plea of guilty to" rudely displaying a
pistol" by parties guilty OF the new
penitentiary oflense, the Longview
Cycle has this to say right to the
point.
Houston is not the only place where
the law has been violated by allowing
this "rudely displaying" farce to be
enacted. The "rudely displaying
statute was enacted to take IN officers
who are too flip with their pops, and
ought to catch every officer who
make. an undue display OF his gun
but to allow a private citizen or .
common tuff to walk up and plead
guilty to "rudely displaying a pistol,
i. all outrage, aud the court that will
allow it ought to be indicted by the
grand jury.
